Update: I reached out to the assistant director of admission and they said this is an entirely different review process that has not yet begun. They do not expect decisions from this process for several weeks — anywhere between 3-6 weeks from now.
I applied to the PhD program at Teachers college and received my rejection letter today. In my letter, they also mentioned identifying me as a potential candidate for their master’s program. However, I needed to fill out a form to be considered. Not sure how to feel.
